The First Blog

What do I say on my first blog? Why did I decide to start writing a blog in the first place? These are the questions on my mind.

Answers: I can say anything worth reading and it’s time to start writing again.

So who am I and what am I doing here?

Answers: I am Sarah. I am a strong, stubborn, semi-independent woman. I am in my mid 20s and I live in Texas, as far west Texas as you can go. I am a runner. I finished my first half-marathon in March in 2:42:52 (not what I was shooting for but it can only get better). I am a good person, or at least I try to be but I’m human and I’ve made mistakes. I am a college graduate. I have a degree in journalism from Baylor University that sits nice and pretty on my wall. Two years ago I stopped writing. You can call it a lack of confidence, doubt or a change of heart but I just stopped. The desire was gone so I moved on to plan B. But life is funny and the thing you’re running away from always has a way of finding itself back to you. So here I am moving forward no more running.

The one question that remains unanswered is what am I doing here. I’ve learned there’s no definite answer for this one. Nothing is set in stone. Life happens. Things change, people change, I’ve changed. Sometimes when an unexpected opportunity comes along you take it and if a tough decision has to be made you make it. There’s no manual on life, no outline to follow. Sometimes you have to do what’s expected and sometimes you follow your gut. So right now I’m living life, having fun, enjoying it and most importantly trying to be happy.

This blog has no central theme. Its only purpose is to share the random thoughts that cross my mind. So thus begins the blogging. If you know me you might be surprised with what I have to say. If you don’t, well please be kind with your comments (if you know me please be kind also) and I hope you enjoy.
